HP Pavilion G6-2288ca OS/Software :: Downgraded To Windows 7 From 8 - USB Ports Are Not Working
Oct 15, 2014
I bought a an HP Pavilion g6-2288ca. Uninstalled Windows 8 and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.My left USB ports are not working. I'm assuming USB3. They have an exclamation mark beside them under device manager. USB Host controller .I've read many solutions, none worked.
#1 Checked the HP drivers page. They don't have ANYTHING listed for USB for the g6-2288ca nor for Windows 7 .
#2 I called HP, with no support. They said to check with Microsoft (????)
#3 I did all the Windows updates.
#4 I installed the full AMD Catalyst driver and software.
#5 Updated Bios. (tried to see if I can disable USB3 in the BIOS).. But it wasn't there.
All 4 of the usb ports on my dv8000 stopped working. Ive tried updating the drivers, no luck. It originally had XP as the operating system but it was upgraded to windows 7, i dont knows if the usb drives are corrupt or what. When i plug anything into the usb ports it does nothing.
I have upgraded to windows 8.1 and since that moment, my USB ports are not working anymore; tried to check them, but nothing works (de-installation, ...) I have a HP Pavilion 15-B050EB; I cannot find the drivers for the USB ports on the HP site.
I have a HP Pavilion 17-e067cl Notebook PC, it came with Windows 8 pre-installed. I really hate windows 8 so I downgraded, but now my wifi-related drivers are down.
My usb ports on my HP Pavilion dv7-6b56nr Entertainment Notebook PC are not working. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Product # A1T84UA. No matter what I do I can't get them to work. When I go into device manager it is showing a conflict. When I try to update the drivers it says they are up to date. I even tried to do a full system recovery and if it wasn't for an image I saved my computer would have become a paper weight.
I installed Windows 7 64-bit, on my notebook. After that I installed drivers for WIndows 7 64-bit from official HP site, but two USB ports not working, only one works. In device manager i have error on Universal Serial Bus Controler. Where I can find driver?
i bought pavilion dv6-6165tx 2 years back and ibought a new internal hdd as my old one became corrupt , i installed os win 7 pro (licensed ) and drivers from HP online.
now the problem is that my left side usb ports are not working , and also my finger print reader
I purchased a HP Pavilion g6-2288ca notebook, product number C2N59UAR, running Windows 8. Recently I've been having issues where the wireless internet will drop without warning. I've already established that the problem is not with my router or ISP, so I can only assume that there is an issue with my wireless adapter, either hardware- or software-related. I can usually connect to my home internet with no problems. However, as I've stated, the internet has been dropping unexpectedly on my computer when it can be demonstrated to be working fine on other computers and internet-connected devices in my home. Now, the thing is, running the troubleshooter and having it reset my wireless adapter usually does the trick. Unfortunately, it's often a temporary solution, as the connection will usually drop right back out after a few minutes. I've attempted to manually update my drivers, but that seems to have been fruitless. Also, the rate at which it drops seems completely random. Sometimes I'll reset my adapter and it'll work for the next six hours, and sometimes I'll reset it and it'll drop within thirty seconds.
recently installed windows 7 on my laptop 15-n203tx
problem is my usb ports are working great in pre installed win 8.1 but now in win 7 just one port is working and it is usb port 2.0 and other two are 3.0 and not working!
I've had this laptop for about a year or two and all of sudden my two left usb 3.0 ports stop working, although when I first turn on my laptop, the left side works for about a second and then stops working. My right usb port which is the 2.0 one works just fine.
I am in the process of downgrading an HP 15-g013dx (J5T33UA) laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 7. This is a quad-core AMD A8 APU system.
I am having trouble with USB 2.0 devices not being recognized by the hardware. I have all the devices installed in device manager, but the computer will not detect USB 2.0 devices.
It will recognize USB 3.0 devices just fine when they are plugged into the USB 3.0 port, but neither of the USB 2.0 ports. USB 2.0 devices won't work in any port. I can't confirm USB 1.1 devices at this time.
CMOS setup is set to Legacy mode: Disable.
Is there an additional driver or configuration that I am missing, or is there another issue going on?
It still did not solve the issues with my USB ports. I have noticed that the exclamation mark is no longer there but still all my USB ports are still not working.
I purchased R400 yesterday and downgraded to XP Pro using the CD coming with the laptop. After the conversion from Vista to XP, I cant see the wireless, bluetooth, finger print etc. In the device manager I can see only "1394 Net Adapter" and "Intel (R) 82567LF Gigabit Network Adapter". Nothing in yellow.
I downloaded the driver file 6hwc05ww and installed but still I can't see any wireless adapter! why it is not coming automatically like other drivers? How can I install it?
I am pretty sure I just don't have the right drivers. I installed the Renesas drivers from the HP downloads page but they didn't solve the issue(so I uninstalled them).
Due to compatibilty issues with other software i have had to downgrade to Win 7 Pro and am now having issues detected the 2 left side usb 3.0 ports. Have power but can not see any devices connected.Have tried
Intel USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver, Fresco Logic USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver , Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver, NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver
I tried plugging several devices into a USB 3.0 port on my z510 this morning to no avail. The USB 2.0 port is working(I have a mouse plugged into it and it works fine) but the USB 3 ports will not work at all. I tried looking at device manager; it says everything is working properly. Power management doesn't turn any of the ports off.
It was working fine 2 days ago. Is it possible to turn the ports off? Because nothing is being recognized.
I looked for drivers on Lenovo's site; no USB drivers for windows 8.1 at ALL. What do I do?
I have a T430s computer model 2352CTO, running Windows 8.1, 64-bit version. Prior to upgrade from Windows 8.0 all drivers were updated. The USB 3 ports worked correctly, in particular running an external 1gb hard drive. After update to 8.1, the USB 3 ports still work, but only for about 30 seconds then the hard drive shuts down. The power light is still lit on the hard drive, but it no longer shows in windows explorer.
In device manager, I went to Universal Serial Bus Controllers -> USB Root Hub ->Properties->(under General it says "This device is working properly)->Power Management->Unchecked the box for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". Unfortunately this does not seem to stop problem.
I have an Acer Aspire V3-572g. My laptop came with windows 8.1 installed already. Currently, my pc is being reset to factory settings because I can not figure out how to keep the hdmi from going out after windows updates. The only way I can keep get the hdmi port to work is the factory reset it. The only way from keeping the hdmi working is by turning off windows updater. However, I'd like to figure out how to keep the hdmi working without doing so. My graphics card is Nvidia 840 M. Here are a list of things I've done after my laptop stops recognizing the hdmi.
Uninstall and reinstall the display drivers, both from intel and Nvidia Update the drivers to be up to date Downloaded intel's utility manager to keep driver update to date Downloaded factory installed drivers from Acer's website Contacting microsoft and have them remotely connect to my laptop Restored back my laptop to previous working conditions (although the hdmi never worked by going to a restore point) Swapped hdmi cords and displays
After several hours of researching and trying different things I'm stumped. I bought this computer with the sole purpose of connecting it to a TV. I've also had this issue with another laptop which I returned. This problem isn't a hardware problem as I'm connected to the same monitor with an old desktop using the same cords. I'm guessing there is a compatability issue with windows and the display drivers when there is an update.
I have downgraded our HP Pavilion 17-e019dx from Win 8 to Win 7 and I have successfully found most drivers but are unable to find and resolve a few remaining items. Looking for the drivers for the Ethernet Controller, SM Bus Controller and the USB Controller on the left side of the laptop (right side works). I have browsed the blogs and found the same problem and resoltions but they have all been for the AMD chipset and this machine has the Intel Core i3 4000m CPU 64-bit.
When windows 8 comes out I may wish to upgrade since I heard it takes less system resources but has a nice look and such. Anyways, if I wanted to downgrade to XP, all i'd do is clean format? then just install the disks? would there be any erros since acer modded this laptop or no?
I downgraded this machine to Windows 7. I was able to find the driver for the wireless card; however, I am unable to find the driver for the following:
Ethernet Controller PCI Device SM Bus Controller Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller Unknown Device
I've looked at the driver downloads available for this laptop, but they are mostly software utilities.
I own a Envy Dv6 operating Windows 8.1... After one particular shut down, all my USB ports refused to work.
I checked my device manager and it showed that all my USB controllers are working properly, but under other devices three new unknown device showed up with an yellow triangle containing an exclaimation mark showed up. Right clicked and it says that the driver is not installed, but I can't seem to find any that the system is willing to recognise.Without USB ports these days, I find it difficult to function properly.
I have a 11month old HP envy touchsmart m7 sleekbook and all USB ports quit working. I have GEEK-SQUAD tech support and after they uninstalled drivers are unable to restore and was told to have repair done on WARRANTY. Do I need to contact and send in or can be done in store? 1 year coming up in a few days
When I try and use the USB ports on my laptop, the system does not acknowledge the device is plugged in, nor allows the device to operate. There are no error messages and the safetly remove hardware icon does not appear. This problem began after I ran a couple of Windows Updates before shutting my computer down for the night.
The devices worked properly before but have since stopped. Multiple devices have been tried, but to no avail.
I just bought a studio xps 1647 from best buy and today the usb ports stopped working. They could not see multiple jump drives I inserted.
Is this a win 7 flaw or is something wrong with my laptop? It was in sleep earlier. My theory is that the laptop just didn't wake the ports coming out of sleep mode. I'm contemplating returning the laptop for another.
i have a sony VGN-FW463J/B and it turns out that none of my usb ports are working. i tried to like uninstall the usb controller (not sure if i did it right) and it didnt fix the problem at all
